I — About Lena
23+ years.
One North Shore.
Lena has built her practice house by house, relationship by relationship — earning referrals and repeat business from clients who know she’ll do it right.
Twenty-three years in. Three hundred-plus homes sold. A five-star rating that has held steady through every market cycle. Lena Bondar has built her practice across the North Shore, the City of Chicago, and the Northwest Suburbs — one family at a time.
She holds the Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI) designation, is a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), and is certified in Short Sale & Foreclosure Resource (SFR). She ranks in the top 17% of nationally ranked brokers and consistently among NSBAR’s top 5% by residential sales volume — from entry-level starter homes to eight-figure luxury listings.
Having relocated many times herself, both internationally and locally, Lena understands firsthand how emotional buying and selling can be. She joined @properties for their cutting-edge marketing tools and thinks outside the box — traditional and nontraditional media, staging, photography, positioning — to get every home in front of the right buyer.
Based in Glenview with deep roots across Wilmette and Winnetka, Lena has resided in all three communities and is well versed in the New Trier and Glenview school districts — knowledge grounded in her own children’s experience.
When Lena is not working with clients, she enjoys walking her English bulldog Bruno, practicing yoga, and painting at the North Shore Art League. Fluent in English and Russian, she counts every referral and every repeat client as the real measure of a job well done.
P.S. You might also meet her bulldog Bruno — unofficial assistant and expert in spotting great homes.

V — How Lena works
Five steps,
no shortcuts.
The same process for a first-time buyer in Glenview as for a seven-figure listing in Winnetka. Calibrated for your stakes, run with the same care.
Discovery
A long, unhurried conversation about your goals, your timing, and the home you actually want — not the listing summary version.
Strategy
Comparative market analysis, pricing, prep punch list. Lena turns insight into a written plan you can sign off on before the world sees the listing.
Stage & Market
Stagers, photographers, copy, and a launch sequence engineered to reach the right buyer — through @properties Christie’s International network and beyond.
Negotiate
Offers parsed line by line. As a Certified Negotiation Expert, Lena protects your number, your timeline, and your nerves through every counter.
Close
Inspections, mortgage milestones, attorney coordination, walk-through. Lena is in your corner through the keys-in-hand moment — and beyond.
VI — Common questions
Before we
talk numbers.
The questions Lena hears most. If yours isn’t here, ask her directly — she’ll respond personally.
Inventory remains tight across Glenview, Wilmette, Winnetka and Northbrook, with well-priced homes seeing multiple offers within the first week. Lena pulls a fresh, neighborhood-level market report for every client — call or email and she’ll send yours.
VII — Communities
The North Shore,
village by village.
Each community on the North Shore has its own character. Lena lives it every day — and guides her clients through the subtle differences that matter.

VIII — Reviews
In her clients’ own words.
Lena is the best real estate agent we have ever had. From day one she presented a thorough market analysis and offered her professional services. She organized many open houses and knew the best photographers, stagers, cleaners, and contractors. We always dealt with her directly and she responded to our questions immediately. Most importantly, she negotiated with a difficult buyer and worked out a deal in our favor. With her help, we sold our house. Highly recommended.
